We all know about the clips that hold doors closed, safety covers for electrical outlets, etc. But have you heard of these practical, quick-fix baby-proofing ideas?
1. Sharp table corners. Slice open a tennis ball and wedge them over the corner of the table.
2. Slow down push toys. When little ones are learning to walk they tend to move at high speeds, and sometimes speeds while pushing toys can get to be too fast for their little feet to keep up with. To slow down push toys, put a rubber band around the front two wheels.
3. Keeping cabinets shut. Wrap a hair band around the knobs.
4. Kitchen sink rather than a bucket. Use the kitchen sink rather than a bucket when mopping floors. Buckets of water left unattended even for a few moments can present a drowning hazard – plus, by using the sink, you are keeping dangerous cleaning chemicals out of the infant’s reach.
5. Velcro. Drawers that you don’t want your infant to get into? Trouble finding where the baby has taken the remote? Try Velcro! This stuff has become so “super stick” that it takes some muscle to pull it apart.
I would love to hear your practical safety tips! Please post them if you have them!
Also, be sure to stop by the CP Morgan “safety house” at the Indy Baby Expo! There will be safety presentations by leading baby and infant safety experts. These engaging seminars will take place on both Saturday and Sunday at the Expo!
Thank you
Jenn
